"We've momentum and we can't afford to lose it tbh"- The '13-'14 summer transfer window thread for PL and beyond

How did you feel about that then?

God that Andy Gray bit is incredible. I actually miss him...in a way. The way he actually starts talking directly to Gerrard "If anyone ever doubted you"

not only the worst piece of commentary ever, but possibly the worst thing that's ever happened. Jim Beglin is guilty by association. Hell, all of Africa is guilty at that rate.

lads, I feel like I need acknowledge the absolute pasting Donegal just took from Mayo. 4-17 to 1-10, you've never see a beating like it. The fucking reigning All-Ireland champions.

Just had to get that out there

i'm sure one of them went 'sing, africa! sing!' didn't they?

xp Um, congrats? Or commiserations, I don't understand your geography.

I feel we could use an ILF non-football thread actually

no

theres an afl forum

if #0 and deems want to recreate the mayo/donegal rivalry on ilx then there are plenty of other subforums to co-opt for gaa bantz

I just had to make it real, you know?

for sure

condolences anyway

Jesus christ that was an awful horsing lads

lol @ Drogba coming off the bench to beast Arsenal with a late double today

xpost well theres the hurling thread on ile for GAA-related bantz. i didnt see the game myself, its an incredible result. this leaves me an excuse to show joe brolly's rant against tyrone. pat spillane's reaction is hilarious....

i had to put up with some neighbour cunt playing fiddle-dee-dee music in his garden all afternoon yesterday. fuck the lot of you

that pires goal is shit goalkeeping, truly awful. you don't have to be dmac in 5-a-side to finish that.

interesting gaa results indeed. dublin for the double would be weird/crazy. kinda conflicted in the hurling cos limerick winning would be amazing for my parents.

love the brolly rant, worth watching even if you've never seen a game, ever. can't tell what he's at, is it to raise his profile or just growing anger about lyfe?

Rooney/ozil?

These reports on training sessions are a new low. It might be significant that Suarez appeared subdued today, before bringing off a smart save from Mignolet, but still unconvinced my life is enriched in any way by having read it.

I apologise for the above post btw

Spurs changed their twitter background from Bale to Dembele

ah that's what the spurs sponsor reminded me of http://i.imgur.com/vbpe9u0.png

mls thread has article on dempsey transfer, takes deciphering

Andrew Johnson is hopeful that Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe will join him at Queens Park Rangers.

It is not known if Defoe, who joined Tottenham from Portsmouth in 2009, would be willing to drop down a division, but Johnson is optimistic he could be persuaded.

"We don’t need to speak how big the club is, the club’s massive. It’s got massive backing, the chairman’s been fantastic, it’ll be great to give him something back."

massive m8 massive

reminds me, i've never heard it myself but the legendary official qpr 1995 season review vhs is said to feature commentator and partridgesque r's superfan tony incenzo taking it upon himself to bellow "ferdinand is massive, booyaka booyaka, incredible"

anyway why is it every year for the last decade spurs try to fuck jd off, the boy's done nuffin wrong

spurs are responsible for andy johnson quotes now?

aj is hardly the only source of speculation re jd's possible departure

Repent of my earlier offers to have the lad on a p/exch with Benteke, but I concur with this sentiment. He'll never be a superstar but I think Defoe's pretty fucking good tbh and most Prem teams outside the top 5 or 6 would be lucky to have him

spurs fucked his life up tbh, if he's had gone arsenal in 2004 like he should have we'd be talking wright-level

Hull want to sign Marseille's France midfielder Morgan Amalfitano, 28, on a season-long loan and are set to pay Evian £1.5m for Ivorian midfielder Eric Tie Bi, 23, after failing with moves for Sunderland's Lee Cattermole and Jack Colback and Stoke's Wilson Palacios.

Would have been quite some midfield.

ok, are any of the sources tottenham? seems harsh to suggest that spurs are somehow mistreating him because there are a lot of stories written about him.

How Seattle's stunning Clint Dempsey deal got done

have i done my sums wrong or is that about £90k a week for deuce there

Top 25 attendances worldwide - I know SS are a bit of a one-off, but that's quite a stat

‏@BafGomis
Thanks 4 all the support that u guys give me, sadly the decision to come join u is not my own its more complicated. Excuse 4 my translation

Looks like he's definitely, albeit reluctantly, going to Newcastle.

Is there any other way?

He's a good signing imo, he's entitled to be a bit disappointed at where he's ending up

He is. Remy / Gomis / Cisse should be a decent front three.

nice kit that

Not a million miles away from Boca Juniors.

the stripe seems awkwardly placed. arsenal's yellow and blue away kit is nicer.

What is it? It's not going to work as an away kit.

Looks like something Torquay would be very proud of, palm trees and all.

xp maybe it's just a kit for fun times. the "leisure shirt" was due a comeback imo, crucible of some the finest 90s designs

That's the most appropriate kit imaginable for the Bobby Martinezation of Everton.

Just imagine the happy smiles on the faces of Distin and Jagielka, wearing that kit as they let a mediocre West Ham forward clear on goal from halfway up the pitch.
